[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] ...Church in Banff, AB est. by RT Rundle 1800's, Mtn Rundle named after him...

[Rachael Patterson]

oops...too hasty...I have photos of this beautiful old church & Rundle
Mountain named after R. T. Rundle, a Methodist:

This church is named after Methodist Rev. Robert Terrill Rundle (1811 -
1896). Based out of Fort Edmonton, he was an early missionary to the Rockies
and was among the first Europeans to see this area. Between 1840 and 1848,
he ministered to the First Nations near Lake Minnewanka. Mount Rundle, which
overlooks the Town of Banff, is named after him.

Sincerely....Gilda in Calgary...
